Mark 13:14-23
Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty.
“Notice what you notice.” I don’t recall any of the Synoptics’ “duplicate” writings that we have read so far that have been so word-for-word as Matthew and Mark on today’s reading, “The Abomination of Desolation”. So, what to say??
I thought I’d look at verse 19: For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. That phrase, “…tribulation as has not been…”… I’m trying to imagine the worst tribulations this world has seen – earthquakes; hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis; war, especially bombs falling for hours on end; avalanches, mudslides, and volcanic eruptions. So now combine all these horrors and keep it up for days, weeks, months…!! Horror!! As I said a day or two ago, I don’t want to be around for those days!!
Slava Bohu!
